Cowboy
======
Cowboy is a small, fast and modular HTTP server written in Erlang.
Goals
-----
Cowboy aims to provide a **complete** HTTP stack in a **small** code base.
It is optimized for **low latency** and **low memory usage**, in part
because it uses **binary strings**.
Cowboy provides **routing** capabilities, selectively dispatching requests
to handlers written in Erlang.
Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be
**embedded** in any other application.
No parameterized module. No process dictionary. **Clean** Erlang code.
Sponsors
--------
The SPDY implementation was sponsored by
[LeoFS Cloud Storage](http://www.leofs.org).
The project is currently sponsored by
[Kato.im](https://kato.im).
